NLS is really not giving any explanation of the shutdown. I have written
to Kurt Cylke and received a reply. He gave no explanation either, but
said an explanation would be forthcoming when the matter could be
discussed with the public. I do not like this secrecy, and I think the
shutdown, even ic necessary, was handled very clumsily.
If Webbraille is not reactiuated soon we should write to our
congressperson. After all, it's our service and our government.
